Released to dashboard 5/4/2021 i) Study in April Anesthesiology: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33630043/ (1) Modified measure from originally approved specification by removing dexmedetomidine from list of non-opioid analgesic medications based on POFA study (2) Discussion: (a) Karen Domino (University of Washington): There are a lot of other agents used in this study such as ketamine and lidocaine. What did the other studies with dexmedetomidine alone show as far as analgesic effectiveness? (b) Nirav Shah (ASPIRE Director): Previous studies have shown that dex can function as an analgesic and many use it as non-opioid adjunct (i) Karen Domino (University of Washington): Would leave it in until there is more literature to prove otherwise (ii) John LaGorio (Mercy Muskegon): Support no change to Dex (iii) Alex Abess (Dartmouth): recommend continuing to have dexmedetomidine as an adjunct (don't change the measure based on this study) (iv) Shafeena Nurani (Beaumont Health System): I agree, it should count as an analgesic (v) Conclusion provided by Nirav Shah (ASPIRE Director): Lots of support to continue dexmedetomidine as analgesic despite this study. Will add back into PAIN 02 measure. Will post to forum when updated on dashboards 8) Measure Review and Vote (Drs. Linda Liu /UCSF; Dr. John Trummel / Dartmouth; Dr. Masakatsu Nanamori / Henry Ford Health System) a) TRAN 01 – Click here for Measure Review i) Literature review: Unable to find a particular hgb/hct value for which transfusion would be indicated but literature states restrictive transfusion strategies are the gold standard but there is no literature about how much. ii) Linda Liu (UCSF): 350 cc/unit definition is not consistent across centers, our cases have failed at transfusion #4 (MPOG thinks it’s 3.4 units) because we use 300 cc/unit iii) Masakatsu Nanamori (Henry Ford Detroit): Is it possible to develop exclusion criteria of red blood transfusion associated with profound or prolonged intraoperative hypotension requiring a vasopressor use or sign of the end organ damage? iv) Linda Liu (UCSF): There are considerations made for hemodynamics for C/S patients (HR>110, SBP<85, DBP<45, or O2Sat <95%) Should there also be considerations for other surgical patients who are hemodynamically unstable? (ie: where the successive unit is given without stopping for a hct check)? Or else if 2 units are given within 15-30 minutes, they are considered as passed based on 1 prior hct/hgb check? v) Masakatsu Nanamori (Henry Ford Detroit): Consideration for separation of cardiac and non-cardiac cases? vi) Discussion: (1) Eric Davies (Henry Ford Allegiance): Look at the TRAN 02 measure, most sites performing better than expected so it may indicate that the benchmark is clearly showing it’s not set correctly and should be set lower. (2) Linda Liu (UCSF): Workflow is likely different across institutions but at both UCSF and Henry Ford Detroit, EBL is not charted for cardiac bypass cases so the exclusion of 2L cannot be applied. These cases are typically included & flagged as anesthesiologists will document units given but perfusionists document hgb/hct values. Perfusion module is being added to Epic at some point but not currently available. (3) Definition of a unit and originally we had all sites submit what they consider a unit and when we were building the transfusion toolkit, there was a standard of 300ccs per unit. We may need to revisit how we classify a unit. (4) Jing Tao (Memorial Sloan Kettering): I think using hemodynamics is a great idea. There are plenty of cases where blood loss is quick and patients are clearly symptomatically anemic. These times, abg either takes too long or the clinical picture does not necessitate abg before transfusion (5) If there are specific parameters we can use would be helpful but that becomes difficult across all sites and setting it at 90% may be inappropriate.

  • Leadership and Ethical Development: Balancing Light and Shadow
    LEADERSHIP AND ETHICAL DEVELOPMENT: BALANCING LIGHT AND SHADOW Benyamin M. Lichtenstein, Beverly A. Smith, and William R. Torbert A&stract: What makes a leader ethical? This paper critically examines the answer given by developmental theory, which argues that individuals can develop throu^ cumulative stages of ethical orientation and behavior (e.g. Hobbesian, Kantian, Rawlsian), such that leaders at later develop- mental stages (of whom there are empirically very few today) are more ethical. By contrast to a simple progressive model of ethical develop- ment, this paper shows that each developmental stage has both positive (light) and negative (shadow) aspects, which affect the ethical behaviors of leaders at that stage It also explores an unexpected result: later stage leaders can have more significantly negative effects than earlier stage leadership. Introduction hat makes a leader ethical? One answer to this question can be found in Wconstructive-developmental theory, which argues that individuals de- velop through cumulative stages that can be distinguished in terms of their epistemological assumptions, in terms of the behavior associated with each "worldview," and in terms of the ethical orientation of a person at that stage (Alexander et.al., 1990; Kegan, 1982; Kohlberg, 1981; Souvaine, Lahey & Kegan, 1990). Developmental theory has been successfully applied to organiza- tional settings and has illuminated the evolution of managers (Fisher, Merron & Torbert, 1987), leaders (Torbert 1989, 1994b; Fisher & Torbert, 1992), and or- ganizations (Greiner, 1972; Quinn & Cameron, 1983; Torbert, 1987a). Further, Torbert (1991) has shown that successive stages of personal development have an ethical logic that closely parallels the socio-historical development of ethical philosophies during the modern era; that is, each sequential ethical theory from Hobbes to Rousseau to Kant to Rawls explicitly outlines a coherent worldview held implicitly by persons at successively later developmental stages.

  • To Clarify These Terms, Our Discussion Begins with Hydraulic Conductivity Of
    Caribbean Area PO BOX 364868 San Juan, PR 00936-4868 787-766-5206 Technology Transfer Technical Note No. 2 Tropical Crops & Forages Nutrient Uptake Purpose The purpose of this technical note is to provide guidance in nutrient uptake values by tropical crops in order to make fertilization recommendations and nutrient management. Discussion Most growing plants absorb nutrients from the soil. Nutrients are eventually distributed through the plant tissues. Nutrients extracted by plants refer to the total amount of a specific nutrient uptake and is the total amount of a particular nutrient needed by a crop to complete its life cycle. It is important to clarify that the nutrient extraction value may include the amount exported out of the field in commercial products such as; fruits, leaves or tubers or any other part of the plant. Nutrient extraction varies with the growth stage, and nutrient concentration potential may vary within the plant parts at different stages. It has been shown that the chemical composition of crops, and within individual components, changes with the nutrient supplies, thus, in a nutrient deficient soil, nutrient concentration in the plant can vary, creating a deficiency or luxury consumption as is the case of Potassium. The nutrient uptake data gathered in this note is a result of an exhaustive literature review, and is intended to inform the user as to what has been documented. It describes nutrient uptake from major crops grown in the Caribbean Area, Hawaii and the Pacific Basin. Because nutrient uptake is crop, cultivar, site and nutrient content specific, unique values cannot be arbitrarily selected for specific crops.

  • Papaya, Mango and Guava Fruit Metabolism During Ripening: Postharvest Changes Affecting Tropical Fruit Nutritional Content and Quality
    ® Fresh Produce ©2010 Global Science Books Papaya, Mango and Guava Fruit Metabolism during Ripening: Postharvest Changes Affecting Tropical Fruit Nutritional Content and Quality João Paulo Fabi* • Fernanda Helena Gonçalves Peroni • Maria Luiza Passanezi Araújo Gomez Laboratório de Química, Bioquímica e Biologia Molecular de Alimentos, Departamento de Alimentos e Nutrição Experimental, FCF, Universidade de São Paulo, Avenida Lineu Prestes 580, Bloco 14, CEP 05508-900, São Paulo – SP, Brazil Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The ripening process affects the nutritional content and quality of climacteric fruits. During papaya ripening, papayas become more acceptable due to pulp sweetness, redness and softness, with an increment of carotenoids. Mangoes increase the strong aroma, sweetness and vitamin C, -carotene and minerals levels during ripening. Ripe guavas have one of the highest levels of vitamin C and minerals compared to other tropical fleshy fruits. Although during these fleshy fruit ripening an increase in nutritional value and physical-chemical quality is observed, these changes could lead to a reduced shelf-life. In order to minimize postharvest losses, some techniques have been used such as cold storage and 1-MCP treatment. The techniques are far from being standardized, but some interesting results have been achieved for papayas, mangoes and guavas. Therefore, this review focuses on the main changes occurring during ripening of these three tropical fruits that lead to an increment of quality attributes and nutritional

Torbert University ofBath / Boston College We offer an epistemological basis for action research, in order to increase the validity, the practical significance, and the transformational potential of social science. We start by outlining some ofthe paradigmatic issues which underlie action research, arguing for a "turn to action» which will comple­ ment the linguistic turn in the social sciences. Four key dimensions ofan action science are discussed: the primacy ofthe practical, the centrality of participation, the requirement for experiential grounding, and the impor­ tance ofnormative, analogical theory. Three broad strategies for action research are suggested: first-person research/practice addresses the ability of a person to foster an inquiring approach to his or her own life; second-per­ son research/practice engages a face-to-face group in collaborative inquiry; third-person research/practice asks how we can establish inquiring commu­ nities which reach beyond the immediate group to engage with whole orga­ nizations, communities and countries. The article argues that a transforma­ tional science needs to integrate first- second- and third-person voices in ways that increase the validity ofthe knowledge we use in our moment-to­ moment living, that increase the effectiveness ofour actions in real-time, and that remain open to unexpected transformation when our taken-for-granted assumptions, strategies, and habits are appropriately challenged.

  • Mango Genetic Diversity Analysis and Pedigree Inferences for Florida Cultivars Using Microsatellite Markers
    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 131(2):214–224. 2006. Mango Genetic Diversity Analysis and Pedigree Inferences for Florida Cultivars Using Microsatellite Markers R.J. Schnell1, J.S. Brown, C.T. Olano, and A.W. Meerow National Germplasm Repository, USDA, ARS, SHRS, 13601 Old Cutler Road, Miami, FL 33158 R.J. Campbell Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables, FL 33156 D.N. Kuhn Department of Biological Sciences, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Mangifera indica, cultivar identifi cation, SSR markers, mango breeding, parentage analysis ABSTRACT. Mango (Mangifera indica L.) germplasm can be classifi ed by origin with the primary groups being cultivars selected from the centers of diversity for the species, India and Southeast Asia, and those selected in Florida and other tropical and subtropical locations. Accessions have also been classifi ed by horticultural type: cultivars that produce monoembryonic seed vs. cultivars that produce polyembryonic seed. In this study we used 25 microsatellite loci to estimate genetic diversity among 203 unique mangos (M. indica), two M. griffi thii Hook. f., and three M. odorata Griff. accessions maintained at the National Germplasm Repository and by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami, Fla. The 25 microsatellite loci had an average of 6.96 alleles per locus and an average polymorphism information content (PIC) value of 0.552 for the M. indica population. The total propagation error in the collection (i.e., plants that had been incorrectly labeled or grafted) was estimated to be 6.13%. When compared by origin, the Florida cultivars were more closely related to Indian than to Southeast Asian cultivars.
